Hati

'Is it my turn to shine? Allow me to solve all your problems!'Raised in the Lupine Forest, Hati is more beast than human, having battle instincts carved into her bones. Her animal-like demeanor and impetuosity mean that she never bows her head, even when fate's fangs tear her apart.

After the Black Blood Disease ravaged her homeland, this once-favored child of destiny lost everything. She who fell from heaven into the abyss remained unbroken no matter how battered. Wiping away her tears, Hati chose to embark on an adventure with her new companions.

Many thought this lone little wolf would forever be trapped in a blizzard, never noticing that beneath her playful facade, in the cracks of old wounds, something more resilient was quietly taking root.

Beneath a dried Wolfsbane lies a nursery rhyme: 'Little wolf, little wolf, shoulder your burden and roam; Little wolf, little wolf, let dewdrops veil the lies you've known; Little wolf, little wolf, let the winds kiss the scars you've sown; Little wolf, little wolf, where grief shall find its home.'

After facing inevitable farewells, what do these verses foretell? Will Hati ever find a new home?

Hati has always carried a softness beneath her bluntness. It isn't hard to see—her beautiful, delicate needlework says as much. When they were young, it was Hati who mended those worn-out clothes for Clive Jr. Even after moving to the castle, she continued to patch old bedsheets and torn dolls for everyone.

Just like the dolls she stitched back together, Hati quietly tried to mend the bonds between those around her—except, of course, when it came to Empousa.

After hearing Clive Jr.'s story, I thought Hati's childhood would be similar, but from what she revealed, that wasn't the case.

Though they grew up together, Hati was the one who had more companionship—Clive was always by her side, teaching her everything she needed to know. Gadric brought her fascinating things from his travels. Even the children in town would gather around her. Hati was showered with love, and she learned how to love those around her. I too have received much of her love, and so, when Hati is in need, I want to return her kindness.

Since arriving at the castle, Hati has made several attempts to find a new home and suitable roommates, but none have worked out.

She and Empousa have irreconcilable differences in their daily routines, and Dalcarlo conducts her 'potion' experiments in the bedroom every day. The rest of the rooms are either infested with mice or too damp to live in. Though Hati rarely shows her emotions to others, when everyone else is asleep, she often slips away to gaze at the moon alone.

Yet it seems I am not the only one who has noticed this...
